A lightweight news hub to help decentralize the fediverse load: mirror and discuss headlines here so the giant instance communities aren’t a single choke-point.
Rules:
- Recent news articles only (past 30 days)
- Title must match the headline or neutrally describe the content
- Avoid duplicates & spam (search before posting; batch minor updates).
- Be civil; no hate or personal attacks.
- No link shorteners
- No entire article in the post body

Pretty sure this is still an underestimate.
Definitely sure.
Star Wars was a front to funnel billions to defense contractors anyway.
That was equally as dumb. It just had a better name.
It says none of the contractors want to get involved because they don't think the project will survive into the next administration. Also that the administration held back most of the already appropriated funds, probably holding out for higher kickbacks.
